    They aren’t trying to get the community removed, they just don’t want to host their content.

    So bringing attention to it is not at odds with their goals.

      Exactly. This is about protecting themselves from legal liability, not anything else. As the guy who hosts it is just a regular guy, not a corporation with limited liability/tons of startup dollarbucks, I don’t begrudge him/them at all.

    It’s the largest community by subscribers, I would be surprised if folks haven’t came across it by now…
